Memories succumb to a slow rot.
Like all things life, they don't dry up instantly.
It's a slow process, more like drowning: they go down they resurface they go down again they resurface again they struggle splash gasp for air. But it does end, eventually.
Like all things life, memories are mortal.
Unless you make stories out of them.

Lovely. Just pure gold.
"...they go down they resurface they go down again they resurface again they struggle splash gasp for air. But it does end, eventually."
I will buy your book. Five copies of it.
:) Long wait still. if it ever happens. Just storytelling for now. Tell me how you like Salinger. Better, write a blog post.
You have read Sandman right? This reminded me of the story of the Caliph of Baghdad...He wants his beautiful city to be eternal...so Dream makes it immortal in Arabian Nights...
Loved it...
Shiva,
haven't read Sandman and can't seem to read it. I don't know why. I read quoted passages here and there, like the one you mentioned, and marvel it from a few lines. yet when I get to the actual thing, I don't want it. Strange.
May be some day.
Sandman is the mythology of our times. Inspired piece of storytelling.
nice story...telugu songs
